New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Limited's clearance sale starts 6/12. Double points 6/12-6/25 for cardholders.
According to the mailer up to 80% off original ticket prices.

Man, you guys are gonna get me to buy stuff from Express this weekend, aren't you... why did I come back?! Stick Out Tongue


With a spoon! But for real, on bread, tea cookies, apple slices, etc.

And if you're feeling really evil, try out this recipe: "Cookie Butter" Gooey Butter Cakes [tortillasandhoney.com]

Yummy drool!

AZN, you should call them.

Last year (and last time) the sale started with 20% and then went to 30% very quickly...and then to 40% for the Fourth of July.

The thing to watch for is that prices are higher in the beginning and sometimes they drop the price as well as the percentage to make an even bigger difference. Last time, I had a pretty large PA because of both of those things.
I called them and got 5K points credited and I got the "You shop a lot" spiel. shake head

I'm ready for 4th of July 40% off and rewards! Going to rebuy the 2 welt pencil skirts I bought last night. I tried them on in store and they were really nice! I was surprised!

Whaaaaaat? Horde or Alliance? Which class? Well that's great. I hope you are having fun!

By the end I had 1.5 million gold, was a GM of a competitive guild and a progression raider. I actually have met 7 of the guys I raided with IRL! I definitely don't regret my years of playing but I am glad it's over. Still a lot of fun looking back though.
Wow! You are such a pro! I just started the trial for Pandaria.

I am a Warrior. I haven't chosen Horde or Alliance yet. Unless I totally did in the beginning and missed it. I'm doing some quests on my own for the trial. I'm trying to figure out how to join DBF so that we can play together, but we're playing separately now. We're different races and classes.

Do you think we can't play together because of that? I don't think class should matter. But all the players in mine are all Pandas. Or do you think we didn't do something right? He's also new to WoW so we're both trying to figure this out together. Not so fun playing on my own when all I'm doing is just fighting. Stick Out Tongue

I was in a Sheraton Old San Juan, right on the ocean. It may be a really expensive hotel, but I have no idea since It was for DBF's conference so his company paid. There were several along that strip of ocean, but I don't remember the names. Old San Juan is not very big, so anywhere within Old San Juan should be fine.
Thanks. I'll check that one. On Hotels.com & Travelocity it appears almost all of the hotels are out of Old San Juan. They all say distance to OSJ X.XX. Walking 2+ miles to & from the hotel would leave me unable to walk around the city. I'm glad you've been there to see which hotels are in the immediate area.

Here you go! [allrecipes.com]

A couple of things- I personally haven't had a problem with thickness like the reviews say- just take it off the heat after a little bit and it'll thicken up. For just the sauce without shrimp, saute the garlic in butter and proceed. I've used fat free half and half too but now that I know what's in that stuff I'll go back to regular half and half.

Finally, the amount of sauce you get isn't enough for how much pasta is called for. So either double the ingredients or half the pasta. Good luck!!

Thanks for the recipe & tips. I'll try it next weekend. I'm going to serve it with the caprese salad posted on here earlier.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
My grandma found a whole community of what they proudly called "Winter Texans" in McAllen, TX. (super far south, you might want to be closer to an airport or more coastal). The folks that used to come down in winter but the trip was wearing on them, eventually moved down their full time. I remember her neighbors were Canadians and they always had these giant tubs of cheese : lol:
Too funny about the cheese. We have Canadians beside & across from our place in N. Miami. If I ever need cheese, I'll know who to ask. laugh out loud

My DH said you were probably talking about the Brownsville area, when I mentioned it to him. He was on the right track.

You should get an express CC. We get so many good deals there. It's sort of unreal...

So you chose a panda which is neutral until lvl 10 when you pick horde or alliance (the only one like that). If your DBF is not a panda then he has a faction already- if he doesn't know which faction, then let me know which race he is and I'll tell you. You'll want to choose the same faction.

Each race has its own starting zone, so while two different races can play together from the very beginning, it's a little difficult because one would have to make its way to the other. Once you pick a faction, you'll be able to play with him!

Did anyone else's Express points not update? Last time I'm seeing points credited was 5/14. I'm thinking it's time to give them a call...

Edit: NM. I ended up calling them. I wonder what's going on. They also told me rewards will be distributed soon! From the 12-19th!
did you try the drop down menu? mine have been weird but i haven't really been keeping track lately. i have points from 5/14, then 5/28. i don't know if i had orders in between, but if so they're missing.

Instore I'll buy at 20% and pa. It's just hard to pa with the coupon use on clearance now plus coupons are limited since they invalidate each other so I'll probably wait til it goes 30% unless I really want something and I'm afraid it will go oos. That's my game plan!

Also I'll only buy instore if it isn't online because of coupons. This is gonna get tricky. The coupon use on clearance online is making things complicated but thats ok. It's a nice problem to have.

That is a nice problem to have, ALVS! I agree!

My game plan is to buy everything I want at 20% (which isn't that much). Then, if it's not around when it hits 30%, I'll PA. Otherwise, I'll rebuy when it hits 30% with coupon and reward and be satisfied. I'm not gambling on the 40% off this time because there isn't that much I want...and there's nothing I need Smilie

So grab it up without coupon just in case then pa if it's oos. That's another good idea!
